Live Streaming of Council Meetings

The City of Victor Harbor livestreams ordinary and special council meetings.

Livestreaming means residents, ratepayers and any other interested parties can observe council meetings as they happen on a computer, tablet or mobile device.

Livestreaming will allow members of the public to know the outcome of items they have an interest in as a decision is made rather than waiting for the minutes to be released a few days after the meeting.

Important notice for livestream users

At the August 2017 council meeting, the video component of the livestream froze. To continue to broadcast the meeting, we had to end the original meeting stream and start a new one.

This meant that people watching the livestream were left with a screen stating ‘This broadcast has ended’. Those who went back to the City of Victor Harbor homepage, or streaming page, and clicked the livestream link would have been able to access the new stream.

So while we hope this does not occur again, in the event that it does, please visit the City of Victor Harbor homepage and access the re-instated stream through the links provided.

In all instances, we will provide updates through the news feed on our homepage.

Accessing the livestream

On the day of each special and ordinary council meeting a link will be posted to Council’s website providing the public access to the livestream.

If you are watching the livestream from a desktop computer, we recommend using Internet Explorer as your web browser.

Confidential items

There may be times when the public and media are lawfully excluded from a council meeting under Section 90 of the Local Government Act 1999. In the case that this occurs, the stream will cease until the public and media are readmitted to the meeting.

Digital Local Government Program

Livestreaming has been introduced due to grant funding received through the Australian Government’s Digital Local Government Grant Program.

Council meeting schedule

City of Victor Harbor ordinary council meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month from 5.30pm. View the meeting schedule or contact the council on 8551 0500 for further information.
